preheat oven to temp. on back of tator tot bag. Mix, browned ground beef mixture in with veggies and mushroom soup and water and spread in 9x13in. pan. sprinkle with cheese and top with tator tots.. cook per time to cook tator tots on back of tator tot bag.

*Can substitue mushroom soup with cheddar cheese soup and eliminate the shredded cheese
*I also use worshtishire sauce to flavor the meat more.

Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Place in a sprayed baking dish (I use a 2 1/2 qt round, but 9x13 works well too). Bake uncovered 25-30 minutes at 350 deg (325 for glass pans)

*You can make this a few hours ahead of time (I make it in the morning to pop in the oven at night) and refrigerate
*You cannot freeze these leftovers
*serve with: mixed fruit in jello, or mixed with vanilla yogurt, and refrigerated biscuits
*you can garnish this with slivered almonds if you wish

Mix all ingred, except bread crumbs in a very large pan and mix well. Place in a 9x13 baking dish, top with breadcrumbs. Bake uncovered 1 hour at 350 deg (325 for glass dishes)

We eat this for breakfast a lot. Use 1 lb ham for breakfast version, 2 lbs for dinner.
*Any of the full fat ingredients can be substituted for lowfat or fat free
*You can make this recipe a day ahead, refrigerate, and let stand room temp for 30 min before baking
*You can freeze the leftovers
*I like to serve this with orange segments, or fruit salad for breakfast. Broccoli and corn muffins for dinner
*dh likes french fried onions on his (the Durkee kind that you make green bean casserole with at the holidays)

I have a big bunch of casserole recipes. LMK if you want more! Mom got me this great recipe book when I was first married and we use it all the time!!

- In large skillet cook chicken with taco seasonings and water (according to directions on packet). Tear chicken into bite-sized pieces as you cook (this gets the chicken moist and flavorful). Set aside.

- In a casserole dish, assemble like a lasagna: 1.) sauce on bottom of casserole dish 2.) torn strips of tortillas 3.) chicken 4.) sauce 5.) cheese **Repeat! You should have about 3 layers, with cheese at the top.
